the new start menu screen takes some getting use to, but when configured to have the same background as your desktop it feels more seemless and less "taken away" from your desktop experience
the rest of windows8 is really good, i don't really get the point of having a "app store" on desktop computers tho, but i like the rest of the OS and the rapid feel of everything. the ui could use some glass tho, it looks terrible but i heard 8.1 update 1 will feature the glass "areo" interface for windows 8 but the great part is it won't have windows 7's god damn round corners (death to round things, i want it square and straight lines)

Works for me perfectly on Windows 7, 8, 8.1 (all 64-bit) on desktops. No compatibility or administrative rights required. Also installed it for others on a Windows 8 tablet just fine.
Sometimes there are unexplainable issues, and using that WinEQ or whatever program can help. You may not want to run it in a window, but it may be worth a try. As for the start menu, how can people say it's any different? Did people actually ever rely on the inefficient start menu that much? It's not hard to use the (amazing) universal search to get whatever you want almost instantly. | ||

I was also having this problem - after about a month I got sick and tired of it (I know long time to wait lol) and I started doing some shit.
It started happening after I upgraded from 8>8.1 I think it was a video/audio driver related problem, I deleted both of them and reinstalled it and so far so good ( I hope). There may have been some conflicts with some of the drivers upon upgrading to 8.1 I'm not sure. My main problem was that it would completely freeze, but the mouse was still responsive, but I couldn't do anything, eventually forcing me to restart/shutdown with the power button.

i will admit that configuring win8 is tough, but once you get comfortable with the registry i dont think its so bad. if i could complain about anything it would be the clunky transition to the start-overlay, but thats probably just a registry key that i need to change. i never have tried windows 8.1. im running win8 home edition, so my OS was pretty forceful in its attempts to get me to "upgrade". good news is, once i downloaded the patcher and rebooted, i just clicked no i do not want to install and now its leaving me alone. i just dont see why i would want to add a start menu button to my already-overloaded taskbar. if anyone has questions about win8, i will be happy to help if you PM me. alternatively, i also check the tech forums here frequently.
